What exactly is “BIM”?What exactly is “BIM”?

• Building Information Modeling• Perhaps one of the most misused terms in the

industry• Contains graphical as well other types of

information

• That information can be either graphical or non-graphical, either contained directly in the building model or accessible from the building model through linked data that is stored elsewhere.

NBIMS Vision and Mission

• Mission:

Improve the performance of facilities over their full lifecycle by fostering a common, standard, and integrated lifecycle information model from the Architect, Engineering, Construction (AEC) and Facility Management industry.

NBIMS Vision and Mission

• Vision:

An improved planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance process using a standardized machine-readable information model for each facility, new or old, which contains all appropriate information created or gathered about that facility in a format useable throughout its lifecycle by all.

Key Distinctions

• Building Information Model – A digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.  As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward.

• Building Information Modeling – How one uses the information model to support collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder.

• buildingSMART alliance – The North American chapter of an international organization with the mission to improve all aspects of the facility and infrastructure lifecycle by promoting collaboration, technology, integrated practices, and open standards.

The Promise of BIMThe Promise of BIM

The Promise of BIM

• Owner and Occupant– Be able to walk into an electronic model and know

what they are getting– Be able to glean more information from the Model

than from the facility itself• Designer and Contractor

– Be able to simulate and visualize– Be able to identify problems before they are physical

• Asset Manager– Be able to visually identify issues and focus on true

problems– Be able to continuously commission and determine

performance – Get top dollar for re-sale by validating performance

• Better visualization

• Improved productivity

• Elimination of conflicts

• Faster delivery times

• Automated shop drawings

• Enhanced material fabrication

• Reduced data collection

• Higher quality buildings w/ better operating capabilities

The donor’s vision for the building:• Architectural function and

aesthetics are the highest priority.• The building should exist for the

next 100 years.• All design should be coordinated

through the use of a “3D” model.• At completion, USC will have a

fully integrated BIM model.

Letterman Digital Arts Center

• “Despite numerous design layout changes that were required by Lucas Film Ltd. due to company restructuring, the LDAC project was completed on time and below the estimated budget….over two hundred design and construction conflicts were identified, most of which were corrected before construction, resulting in an estimated savings of over

$10 million on this $350 million project.”
